She moved to NYC in 2012 to attend Pratt Institute and has been working as a freelance designer as of late out of her studio in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Her aesthetic is shape based and her digital processes are inspired by paintings she does in her free time. Her work deals heavily with color theory, often trying new color schemes inspired by nature, and pairing hues that wouldn’t normally work with each other.  Her clients include the New York Times, The New Yorker, Wired, Pitchfork, and MIT Tech Review, amongst others. Her work has been recognized by the Society of Illustrators and American Illustration.

Her collections and art installations examine the function and conventional use of materials to develop new design perspectives. Her internationally exhibited research projects question the relation between garments, individual and society to reveal unconscious patterns of behaviour in the everyday use of textiles.

BUT DUOTONE AS OUR BRAND NAME ALSO GIVES A LOT OF ROOM TO INTERPRET ITS MEANING FOR YOURSELF. WE ASKED A GRAPHIC DESIGNER, AN ARTIST, A TEXTILE DESIGNER AND AN INDUSTRIAL DESIGNER COUPLE TO GIVE US THEIR INTERPRETATION OF DUOTONE AND WORK OUT SOMETHING IN THEIR ART DISCIPLINE. WHAT DOES DUOTONE MEAN TO YOU? Copy: Florian Panther I N S P I R A T I O N T R U E 59 T R U E 58
